Temperature and Life

Worksheet Description

This worksheet uses a number line to represent temperatures in various cities in degrees Celsius and asks students to engage with this information through several questions. Students must read the number line to identify the temperature in each city, calculate temperature differences between cities, evaluate statements comparing temperatures, and arrange the temperatures in increasing order. The worksheet challenges students to apply their understanding of integers and differences on a number line to real-world situations, specifically temperatures in different geographic locations.

The worksheet is teaching students to interpret and calculate with integers in a practical context. It encourages the practice of reading number lines, understanding the relative positioning of integers, and performing arithmetic operations to find differences. Additionally, the questions guide students to analyze and compare data, which is a skill applicable in various academic disciplines and everyday situations. The arrangement task at the end serves to reinforce the concept of ordering integers and offers a comprehensive review of the number line as a visual tool for understanding numerical relationships.
